The neighborhood watch volunteer who killed Trayvon Martin can be released from jail on $1 million bond while he awaits trial on a second-degree murder charge, a judge ruled Thursday.

Bill1952 is correct.
G LArry, in case it wasn’t clear, if GZ uses a bail bondsman, that $100,000 is gone regardless of whether he appears for all hearings and is found guilty/not guilty or having immunity for a valid self defense.
Anything he may have left will likely go to his attorney, his wife’s bail, and living expenses. He’s screwed.
If he’s smart he’ll stay in jail where he’s protected, has 3 hots and a cot rather than lose the 100 grand and still owe his attorney win or lose.
Anyone know what the bombshell is?
Thanks in advance.
Apparently in the new America if you are white it is recommended by the government that you allow the feral black thugs kill you so you don’t inconvenience them or the busy corrupt prosecutors.
I agree, Clara Lou.
Neither has any others who are being asked to pay bail. You want all of them released? Do away with the bail system since none have yet to be convicted?

"Under any definition, the Defendant has flaunted the system."
An illiterate boob of a judge!
Exactly --
Furthermore the judge in the ruling said that he will revoke bond again if the state decides to charge him with anything else -- like perjury or missrepresentation of funds or jaywalking or looking at him crosseyed or ...
He might be better off in jail. Let the state house and feed and entertain him, because even if he bails out, you can bet that the prosecutor will charge with something and the judge will revoke bond again .... and poof another hundred grand.
This shows the contempt that this judge has for "other people's money". It's sent to GZ for one purpose and he feels free to steal it for his own purpose.
It's groundhog day again and again in Judge Lester's courtroom.
Well, $115,000, actually...
They’re looking for more “other peoples’ money”. Anyone with deep pockets or large property holdings interested?
‘Today, Judge Lester set George Zimmerman’s bond at $1,000.000. In order to get out of jail, Mr. Zimmerman will have to pay a bail bond company $100,000 (10% of the bond amount) and have collateral worth $1,000,000.
George Zimmerman and his family do not have anywhere near $1,000,000 for collateral so even if we pay the $100,000 fee, the bail bond company will have to agree to work with us on how the collateral would be posted. We are encouraged we can work this out. We paid $15,000 initially for the first bail fee so an additional fee of $85,000 would have to be paid to post this new bond assuming we can work out the collateral issue.

For those who have given in the past, for those who have thought about giving, for those who feel Mr. Zimmerman was justified in his actions, for those who feel they would do the same if they were in Mr. Zimmerman’s shoes, for those that think Mr. Zimmerman has been treated unfairly by the media, for those who feel Mr. Zimmerman has been falsely accused as a racist, for those who feel this case is an affront to their constitutional rights — now is the time to show your support.
The defense fund is at GZDefenseFund.com.’
The venue will have to be changed if he expects a “fair” trial. A different judge in a different county with an intelligent jury. Preferably in an area where there are a lot of gated communities, in areas like where he lives. LOL, that will be the day. They need Zimmerman for the coming election. If they postpone it till afterwards, no one will really give a s#!t about the outcome. It will become just run of the mill old news. It serves their purpose for now.
The crooked judge and crooked prosecutor are ordered by the Democratic Party to lynch an obviously innocent man, to further the campaign rhetoric of election 2012
Both Gov Rick Scott and AG Pam Bondi are GOP....unfortunately
You can be assured, that this conservative will do everything possible to make sure these two Black Ku Klux Klan Racist supporters are primaried out. No real conservative votes for someone who does the bidding of Black KKK Racists like Al Sharpton and New Black Panthers (who still are not being charged for the death threats on Zimmerman)
My tax dollars are paying for this Black KKK Show Trial...you bet I am voting everyone out who continues this witch hunt
It would be cheaper to let the Ghetto Bangers burn down their ‘hood than to let this trial continue. Already $500K spent and were are still talking BOND HEARING.
It appears this judge is fixing the case for Al Sharpton. They must have some incriminating child-rape photos on Judge Lester.....because there is no legal precedent to set bail this high...to declare someone a flight risk who is not a flight risk
The persecution of George Zimmerman is Black Ku Klux Klan Racism. Anyone assisting or voting for any party that is not putting an end to it is not only not Conservative...they are not American. This is an American Lynching
the people who donated do not determine how the money is spent. that is up to the judge. Now...go take a nap.
Wrong -- the judge even admitted as such in the April 20th hearing. Go read it sometime. He said that how or whether the Paypal money could be used [for bail] depended upon how the account was set up, that it may be out of his hands.
Now...go take a nap.
I did. But you obviously missed yours.
Really. The defendant has the ability or the public behind the defendant has the ability.
What happens if the Trustee says that the money cannot be used for bail and the public donate with the understanding that none of the money can be used for bail??? Then what, Lester???
That's cozy.
Who is the baondsman?
Of course you are right! This farce was created simply because the Al and Jesse whiners couldn’t stand the Zimmermans not being destroyed financially. It isn’t FAIR, don’t you know for them to have all that money when the Martins don’t. Case closed.
George Zimmerman is everyone who thinks they have a right to protect
themselves and what is theirs. He deserves all the support he can get. Otherwise, we should giftwrap our valuables and set them in the street for the “hoodie-lums”. If Zimmerman had shot a white man most of us would never have heard of him.
